PUBLIC OPINION.

| New York Herald: On the whole. anC
after you get used to him, the live yam
kee" is the best man in the world to have
on the ground. He knows how to make
things hum, and likes to do it.
Denver Republican: 1t is the fac
that the monopolies which run our legis-
latures and control our commerce are
growing stronger than ever in this state
that the people have less to do in this mat
ter and they know it.
Dallas Tex News: An electric kettle
has been made In Berlin, and water can be
made to boil in it. These Texas nexspa
| pers which are wont to depend upon lazy
| subscribers for stove wood now see better
days ahead.
Brooklyn Times: Wheat and cotton
| are necessaries, or practically so as things
go at present, and there is always danger
| of corner in them, but 1t will probably
be long while before any one will try to
corner prunes again.
New York Times: Apparently nothing
but law absolutely requiring such struct-
ures to be fire proof will put an end to the
criminal risks that in storing other peoples
property. and there is doubt if such law
would be effectual, as unfortunately, laws
will not enforce themselves.
st. Louis Globe-Democrat: Col. Bill
Morrison is said to cherish the opinion that
he can beat Uncle Jehu Baker for congress
next year One OF the greatest draw backs
to Col. Bills political welfare is the habit
OF cherishing opinions, particularly In re-
gard to Uncle Jehu. which run contrary to
the cold facts of experience and observa-
ton.
New York Tribue: So long as this city
does not contain majority of scoundrels
the people have it in their power to keep
villains In subsection. They have just wit
messed an impressive manifestation of the
majestic force which resides in their united
purpose, and 1t will be their own fault If
New York once more becomes a safe place
in which 10 conspire against the laws of
God and man.
New York Star: Hoodlums and mobs
are the same everywhere, but Mexico, as
represented by her intelligence and worth
and public policy, is grateful to this coun-
try. There is n jealousy, no suspicion,
no hatred, nothing but an affectionate re-
membrance of our great kindness in the
hour of her darkest need, and an unques-
tioning faith in our abiding sympathy and
friendship for the future.
Detroit Tribune: The Democratic bosses
of Iowa are writing letters to their Texas
friends informing them that prohibition in
Iowa is failure and warning them
not to permit Texas to adopt the ruinous
policy. On the other hand the
Republican papers and leaders of
Iowa testify that prohibition is not fail
ure IN that state, and General Weaver has
caused quite sensation by coming out in
his paper with an editorial completely sus-
tanning the Republican statements.
Salt Lake Tribune: Now, after this
long course of perfdy, what trust or power
can congress or the country confde to this
wide spread and compsctly organized
Utah conspiracy, which has demanded
everything and never honestly conceded
anythiDgl What public man or politician
can espOuse its cause without being dis
honored as a particeps criminis? What
political party can give it laid and com
fort" without being deceived aud betrayed
In the future as in times past.
